Re: Average troughput for the last second using memory

Is this an average throughput or rather an exact throughput ? if i understood the description it's not an average, it's a perfect count, even more it's a picture of the previous 1 second of belt worth of pulses in the precise order in which they arrived. It seem to me that you use number as area whe...

Re: Friday Facts #402 - Lightspeed circuits

I am still not convinced that adding ID to channel on radars would not cause a situation where players have a strong incentive to build arrays of radars. Which is worse in my eyes than both current situation with minimalist approach or antenna approach with dedicated entity for multi channel. I have...

Re: Wireless transmission using (modded) radars

You and everyone else has quite a different idea of what a channel for wireless transmission is. Here is the link to the official wiki :https://wiki.factorio.com/Circuit_network Senders broadcast the amount of items or fluids they contain or other data definable by the player. Each amount is broadc...

Re: I want to present Factorio to a friend

It depend on your friend, some videos are fun and super high paced, others slow and full of technical explanations, with many in between.

The trailer is nice no ? You'd prefer something more exciting ? showing more the combat ? the large scale building ? the trains ? the fun and careless gameplay ?

Re: Wireless transmission using (modded) radars

That is exactly how you should be transmitting ore values from outpost and not at all what channels would be for, imho. Thank you that's a demo model, it transmit color and quantity, so there is an example of different channel/signal, and an example of same channel/signal "iron ore". You ...

Re: Friday Facts #402 - Lightspeed circuits

I agree there is no way to get around each outpost needing a radar (if it wants to send something). But why should each outpost require their own channel? Because otherwise you need to do the thing that people wish to avoid when suggesting multi ID radar, aka multiplexing , be it with a clock or no...

Re: Friday Facts #402 - Lightspeed circuits

Having multiple nameable channels would be a huge improvement in usability over the current suggested feature of just a single channel per surface, and I don't yet see any meaningful disadvantages to providing that usability. That's what i thought at first, that no multi-channel was a missed opport...

Re: Friday Facts #402 - Lightspeed circuits

Yes it would be much simpler no doubt, i think no-one argued that it would be more complicated so far. But it would also give an incentive to player to stamp array of radars next to each other.

I hope it will just require different amounts of fuel; because that is much easier to manage... just wait until the Rocket silo is filled with fuel and launch. If it would be different load capacities it is going to suck big time because then every planet has its own ratios for transporting items t...

Re: Requster / Buffer / Provider chest combination

Given that there is only a red and a green wire not all values can be set independently. But that is life. PS: a chests could have more wire terminals allowing for more wires to choose as input / output option. Probably something for a 2x2 chest. Aren't those two conflicting descriptions of what is...

Re: Friday Facts #402 - Lightspeed circuits

To multiplex channels onto the radar you need a clock. Wrong. And beware the fool that uses a local clock to demultiplex the data. One power outage and the clocks will get out of sync. In fact, you should avoid clocks if you know how because these are just some of the issues you might come across. ...

Re: How to pick a single signal from a wire and make it sticky?

It's only if you remove the output combinator and use the green wire from the combinator before it instead. Just to be clear, did you do that? No i did not, i only hovered over the output power pole expecting to see a large negative number, but instead there was none, and the blueprint was flickeri...

Re: How to pick a single signal from a wire and make it sticky?

Hope this works at least as well as the previous one. The top right combinator can be removed and you can take output from the green wire from the bottom right combinator instead, if you don't mind -2.1G output temporarily. The previous one worked better, this one you need to disable the green sign...
